Congratulations are in order for Emma Roberts: she's officially engaged!

The Scream Queens actress announced her engagement to fellow actor Cody John, who she has been dating since 2022, on July 16.

Taking to Instagram, the bride-to-be shared an excited selfie with her fiancé showing off her new bling, and cheekily captioned it with: "Putting this here before my mom tells everyone," referring to her mom Kelly Cunningham.

Kelly is the former sister-in-law of Julia Roberts, who is Emma's aunt by way of her older brother, Emma's dad Eric Roberts.

In the photo announcing her engagement, the soon-to-be husband and wife are all smiles posing on a field, and Emma is seen wearing a frilly pink dress. Her ring appears to be a classic solitaire composed of a large round diamond set on a gold band.

The comments section under her post was quickly flooded with congratulatory messages from fellow celebrities and fans alike, with Lindsay Lohan writing: "Congrats!!!!!!!" as Julianne Hough added: "Yesssss congratulations darling."

Though they have kept their relationship largely private since, Emma did share some insight into a recent heartwarming moment the two shared at home.

Speaking with People, she recalled watching Zac Efron's heart wrenching recent movie The Iron Claw, which tells the real life story of the Von Erich brothers, and confessed: "The two of us were sobbing," before adding: "It was just a disaster of crying and then laughing at each other for crying, which made us cry even harder."
